Boston Restaurant Blog -- August, 2006

We stopped in for lunch at the Salmon Run Fish House in Lee, MA, earlier this week, on our way back from the Adirondacks in New York. This was the second time I have been to this hidden Berkshire dining spot, and it was every bit as good for lunch as it had been for dinner when I went the first time. Both the white tuna club sandwich and the buffalo chicken sandwich were delicious, and the sweet potato fries were crispy and not greasy at all.

While we were at the Salmon Run Fish House, I noticed how many senior citizens were there, and remembered that the last time I had been, it was also filled with retirees. It got me to thinking that in the Boston area especially, there is so much emphasis on the "hot" spots and the trendy, upscale places that not much is written about simple, unpretentious restaurants that are senior-friendly. Perhaps this is because the ever-increasing popularity of family- and senior-friendly chains such as Applebee's and TGI Friday's has nudged many of the independent, senior-friendly restaurants out of the restaurant business.

I'm thinking that in the near future, a new page will be added to Boston's Hidden Restaurants; it will be a feature that lists and briefly describes good restaurants that cater to retirees and senior citizens. The list will definitely include the Salmon Run Fish House, as well as Jimmy's Steer House in Arlington, Hart's Turkey Farm in Meredith, NH, and a number of other good dining spots that seniors frequent. If you have any restaurants that might be good choices for this page, send me a comment. It might just get into this upcoming feature!
